We really weren't sure what to expect with hospice care, but Hope's guidance and compassion was beyond anything we could have imagined. My mom's nurses brought such care and attention, and I know she looked forward to their visits each week.

-Daughter

I can't thank you enough for the compassionate care that you gave to my husband during his hospice care. Everyone involved with Hope Hospice was amazing!

Michelle

-Wife

This Hospice does not have employees, they have angels. No matter how low my spirits were, they ministered to me just like I was the patient. They will never know how much they helped us. They became much more than caregivers. They were like family. May the lord richly bless them.

Hope Hospice and their wonderful staff provided the utmost clinical care with the greatest effort for my mother's dignity. My mother loved her nurses and looked forward to their visits until the very end. The nurses honored her by attending both her funeral and graveside services. They were great support and comfort to me.

The Hospice nursing staff are angels! They listened to my concerns and were caring/loving to my uncle. THey made his dying experience better than we could have hoped for.

We had the most amazing Hospice experience. The NP's caregivers and techs that delivered and picked up the equipment: Mom was treated, always, with sincere love and respect. God truly blessed our family.

We knew we were never alone in his battle with illness. The team met all of our needs for medical care, emotional care, and other, such as bathing needs, prescriptions, and follow-up calls. I thank everyone we met.
